PORTSMOUTH – The local young professional’s networking group, Catapult, will be holding their monthly Connects event -- with a bonus -- this November 14, from 5-7pm.

The social event will be held at The Exchange, located at 95 Brewery Lane, and is sponsored by Granite State College. The bonus is that each attendee is encouraged to bring canned goods or non-perishable food items to be donated to the Seacoast Family Food Pantry.

Catapult has been dedicated to providing young professionals with unique and valuable opportunities to enhance personal and professional development. This particular evening, they will be focusing on community, as well as their business acumen.

“We know the holidays are coming up, and with the recent devastation along the east coast from hurricane Sandy, we have an enhanced appreciation in supporting our community.” Noted Allison Potter, marketing co-Chair of Catapult. “Every little bit helps. We encourage everyone to donate to the pantry, not just Catapult members.”

New members are always welcome, and Catapult hopes everyone participates in this selfless donation.

Catapult, the Seacoast’s Young Professional Networking Group, is an organization designed to promote professional growth in the Seacoast marketplace through networking opportunities. Catapult’s career development programs include leadership training, seminars, CEO roundtables and more.

Catapult believes that youth groups across the state represent the next generation of business leaders. To find out more about Catapult, visit www.catapultseacoast.org.
